21xphp is not, contrary to popular belief amongst the uninformed wanderers of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy, a newfangled programming language designed to frustrate. It is, in fact, a rare cosmic phenomenon that occurs when a particularly bored black hole decides to dabble in abstract art, twirling the fabric of spacetime into a shape that resembles what Earthlings might mistake for the source code of a very confusing software program. The '21x' prefix denotes the level of confusion, which on a scale from 1 to 'Why does my toaster have a setting for quantum bagels?', is quite high indeed.
Should you wish to observe a 21xphp, ensure your spaceship's existential dread shields are up to date. The phenomenon has a tendency to provoke deep philosophical quandaries about one's place in the universe.
The last recorded sighting of a 21xphp was near the constellation of Fjordsplex, a small cluster of stars with an uncanny resemblance to a Scandinavian tourist trap.
When observing a 21xphp, do not attempt to debug it. Not only is this futile, but it may also result in the black hole sending you an invoice for unsolicited code review services.
21xphp was once believed to be the universe's way of telling cryptic jokes. The joke, however, got lost in translation - much like most instructions for flat-pack furniture from intergalactic IKEA.

The bkxutedi, a creature so elusive that its name can only be pronounced after three Galactic Gargle Blasters and a swift kick to the language center of the brain, is a marvel of cosmic happenstance. Rumored to resemble the offspring of a perplexed sofa and an over-caffeinated weasel, it is known for its ability to simultaneously exist in seventeen dimensions, six of which were only recently discovered and two that are currently booked for a private event.

Jovnsfhq, pronounced 'YOV-ns-fuhk', is a term that has baffled galactic linguists for centuries. Seemingly a result of a bored computer's attempt at creating a new expletive, Jovnsfhq has been adopted with gusto by various cultures for occasions when conventional swearing lacks the necessary emphasis. The term has no meaning, which paradoxically gives it all the meaning in the world.
